    Pinnacle: ActionPoller is utilized to call an Apex technique for the interim of time indicated.
    Summit: Action Function is utilized to call Apex strategy from JavaScript.
    Utilizing set Timeout in JavaScript, we can accomplish apex: actionPoller functionalities.

    apex:ActionSupport: This component adds Ajax request to any other Visualforce component. Example : Commandlink button has inbuilt AJAX functionality however few components like OutputPanel does not have inbuilt AJAX capabilities. So with the help of this component, we can enable AJAX.

    <apex:outputpanel id=”counter”>
    <apex:outputText value=”Click Me!: {!count}”/>
    <apex:actionSupport event=”onclick” action=”{!incrementCounter}” rerender=”counter” status=”counterStatus”/>
    </apex:outputpanel>

    apex:ActionPoller: This is timer component which can send AJAX request on pre-defined interval. Minimum interval is 5 sec and default is 60 sec.
    <apex:actionPoller action=”{!incrementCounter}” rerender=”counter” status=”counterStatus” interval=”50″ />
